Garn / Yarn

Jeg købte en hel del garn i Michigan. For regel nummer 1 er jo, at i udlandet må man gerne købe garn. Ikke?
Det første garn var bestilt hjemmefra. Garn til at farve fra Knitpicks. Det var kun 1 bundt som blev farvet i ovn, og resten kom med hjem. Det skal jeg nok få sjov med.....

I bought quite a lot of yarn in Michigan. Rule number 1, as you know, is that you are always allowed to buy yarn when abroad, right?
The first box of yarn was something I ordered from my home. Yarn from Knitpicks for dyeing. Only of the skeins got an oven dye, and the rest came home with me. Will be fun working with it.....

Som sædvanlig, købte jeg også det helt utroligt sjove "Crazy" garn fra Stonehedge Fiber Mill. Lavet af rester fra de "rigtige" farver, og altid i nye kombinationer. Denne gang var det temmelig lyserødt....

As usual, I also bought the very fun "Crazy" yarn from Stonehedge Fiber Mill. Made from the ends of the "real" colors, and as always in new combinations. This time, I got a lot of pink......

Der røg også 2 nøgler fint strømpegarn med hjem. Bare fordi.....

Furthermore, 2 skeins of pretty sock yarn came home with me. Just because.....

Jeg var i Greenfield Village og i første omgang undgik jeg at købe deres garn af egen avl. Men så gik jeg forbi fårenes bebrejdende blikke og købte alligevel et par nøgler. De skulle jo ikke fryse til ingen nytte, vel?

I went to see Greenfield Village, and first time in the shop, I didn't buy their home-made yarn. But then I passed the sheep and their sad eyes and bought 2 skeins anyway. Didn't want those poor sheep to freeze for no reason!

Min niece valgte dette garn til denne bluse. Fra Woolfolk. Garnet hedder "Får" og blusen hedder "Kogle". Det er ihvertfald meget lækkert, og jeg satser på at sweateren er færdig til vinter!

My niece picked this yarn for this sweater. From Woolfolk. the yarn is called "Får" (sheep in Danish) and the sweater is called "Kogle" (like pine "cone" in Danish). It is really yummy and I do hope the sweater is finished by winter!
